The Benefits of Leasing Printers or Copiers
Often a decision faced by many businesses is if they should lease a printer machine or outright buy them. What are the benefits of leasing a printer? Let's explore some key points for why your company may want to lease a printer or copier.
Perhaps one of the biggest advantages of leasing comes with the printer warranty that will come bundled with it. This greatly reduces the risk of your machine failing and bringing your business to a sudden halt. Leasing often will allow your printers to have coverage over mechanical failures such as breakdowns in the printhead, rollers, or fuser. Electrical issues such as a printer's power supply or circuit board, and finally faulty software that could prevent the overall printer from functioning properly. Each lease can differ in different ways on their warranty, but it is always something that can be discussed and worked with prior to getting a lease agreement.
Constant up to date technology, copiers and printers are constantly evolving and gaining new additions. As a result, being able to lease ensures you won't be stuck with an outdated printer. Ideally, your company doesn't want to spend a high upfront cost and be stuck with an old out-of-date machine. Experts will constantly be offering up to date advice and speaking to you about new and better upgrades. This also helps save time as the providers do the research for these machines, while you as the business can continue to remain focused on your tasks.
Leasing also provides lower upfront costs and a flexible rate of pay. When you as a company pay large amounts in bulk, it can disrupt the cash flow for your business. Monthly lease payments allow for more manageable payments, that don't immediately drain the business without much of a backup solution.
In addition, leasing can provide a whole bunch of options under one bundle package, as Managed Print Services come equipped with robust software that can provide data on how your printers are performing. So, you will be able to get supplies in a timely manner. You’ll have frequent maintenance on your printer hardware such as new parts being needed or overall stability evaluations. Additionally, you will get constant support from various people involving your printer as well as the MPS that comes with the lease. So you will always have a backup solution in place or a resource to consider before needing to spend any additional costs.
Finally, flexibility is one of the biggest reasons you will want to consider leasing, managed print services are prepared to do free assessments of your business. Offering the best value and correct equipment as your business continues to grow.
In summary, leasing a printer can be a great cost effective and flexible option. Doing so can also allow business to get modern technology faster and be more equipped. In addition, reduce significant downtime with robust toner and hardware detection monitoring software. With a managed print provider by your side as well, you’ll be ready for the ever-evolving business world.
